#1 Gift, Exhortation/Encouragement (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Who wouldn’t want a cheerleader by their side to believe the best in them? Jesus believes the best in us. Encouragement is a great antidote to criticism.

#2 Gift, Mercy Showing (87%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Jesus is the epitome of love. I want to spread love and compassion during my lifetime. Our world already has a lot of judgment, and mercy is a great antiodote.

#3 Gift, Evangelism (78%)

This gift’s evident in my life in the following ways:
Second test that showed this, and it still surprises me. Perhaps as I learn and grow more as a Christian I will more fully embrace this with confidence. I love helping others, and helping others seek Jesus is the ultimate icing on the cake.

Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Otter’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

Influenced by families modelling life after Christ. More of a journey with an awesome moment of realizing I don’t need to know all the answers, but God dwells in my heart- I just had to listen.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

None until Grace!

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

Becoming a Marine. Proved to myself I am capable and strong.

Abusive father. Thankful for the empathy I have gained and passion for uplifting children.

Mom’s cancer diagnosis. So-called “big problems” aren’t so big anymore

#4 Marriage. Life changing. Period.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:
